Final Scene

In the final scene they are talking with each other on the phone before he leaves for Nebraska. Gittel says to him "I love you, Jerry" and he says to her, after a long pause, "I love you ... mumble". It did not sound like he said her name. Did he say his wife's name? What did he say?

He says "I love you too infant."

Love means never having to say you're sorry. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

So do they get together happily ever after?

No, but they helped each other live happier lives thereafter. They were just too different to endure as a couple, and they knew it. But they didn't stop loving each other.

Yeah, I think he said that too: I love you, infant. With a comma. He called her infant on at least one occasion before, and some other such terms.

His wife's name was Tess.

The closed caption reads, "I love you too, infant."

He had called her infant several times before.
